Sounds like the starter system on the raptor is completely different from the Warrior .. the warrior starter is always engaged, so that when it's not starting bike it's still spinning free. The problem I had with my starter recently was that the oil seal between the motor and engine allowed oil into the starter and fried the commutator. Luckily I was able to get the commutator rebuilt without having to replace the whole rotor. Just a couple of copper bars and some good soldering and I was ready to rumble again.

The symptom with mine was as if the battery was dying. It would lug over very slowly until it just stopped doing it all together.

Good luck with it!!

 

NL01, actually they are probably pretty similar. The Raptor's starter is always engauged as well. The part we are talking about (one way starter clutch) is what lets the starter stay engauged all the time without burning up. It is bolted to the back side of the flywheel and has a clutch style bearing that rides on the crank shaft.

 

I have replaced several 1-ways and when bad, they always freewheel, then grind in / slam in, turning the engine over. If you get your ear down too engine level, where is the clunking seem too come from?

What is the price of a yamaha OEM one way? I cant find it anywhere on the net. The cheapest LA one way i found was 189.00

 

You may need more than just the one way. Look on ebay and search L&A Designs kit. I t comes with the gear that will be damaged as welll as gaskets for 250 bucs.

 

Second luckiest! 2001 still on first one way and no noises.....lol

mine had the one way bearing go out buying all the stuff bout 250.00$$ but be smarter than me just order another bearing. parts man said i needed alot of stuff labor man said all i needed was a bearing

 

ripperracing.com is the place to buy. They sell the whole kit, one way, gaskets, bolts and gear....... last I knew it was $255 for the whole kit. Buy it all..... it's well worth the money.
